We know something you don't know...

That was my sing song voice by the way.

Okay, here is one more reason why I simply adore my doc. (Dr Leavitt if you haven't heard me sing his praises yet.)

Besides the fact that he always goes out of his way on my visits and he is so nice to me and is super brilliant and all that (I really really like him, can you tell?), he always goes out of his way to make life better for me whenever he can.

Case in point yesterday. I had my visit and we talked about how not fun this constant illness thing has been and he was really sweet about it. Then he asked if we were finding out what this kiddo is going to be.

We are, I've just had to move the appt to a time Sam can do so it hasn't happened yet. Which has driven me CRAZY.So I said, "We are going to find out, and I am dying to know."

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.- Mark Twain

Lose your life in service and you will become great.Do What is right, even when it is difficult, especially when it is difficult. Do not make the mistake of being a social climber. Of course you will want to use your knowledge and skills and talents to do great things. But do them because they are right, because they are good, not because they make you look good.There may also be those who discount or undermine your attempts to improve the world, who laugh at your educational or career choice. Let them. And while you let them, quietly set out to serve them. You are not changing the world to impress them, you are doing it because it is right.-"A Thomas Jefferson Education" Oliver DeMille
